Francisco Lucas

Full name: Francisco Lucas Vezino De Sevilla. Spanish lettering master in the 16th century who wrote Arte de Escrevir (Madrid, 1571 [Paulo Heitlinger says that this is 1580, while others mention 1577]), in which he introduced the so-called Spanish Bastarda. He also published Arte de Escrivir (1608, Iuan de la Cuesta, Madrid). Local download.

Digitizations of his Griffo-style lettering in 1577 include:

  • Decimosexto NF (2006, Nick Curtis).
  • Francisco Lucas Llana Regular (2003). A chancery hand by Pia Frauss. She writes Written in Madrid in 1570, by a man called Francisco Lucas. He classified it as a Bastarda; but actually, it is a humanist cursive -- the type of writing that is mostly known under the name of Chancery.
